A second autopsy will be conducted on a two-year-old Myanmar boy found dead on Tuesday in a sugarcane field in Suphan Buri province to clear lingering doubts from the parents.
Piew, 26, a Myanmar worker and his wife Mor, 20, questioned the results of the first autopsy at the Police General Hospital's Institute of Forensic Medicine, which showed no sign of physical assault.
The Myanmar couple have vowed not to cremate their son Salui Piew until the truth about how he died is revealed.
Worawee Waiyawut, director of the DNA Division at the Justice Ministry's Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS), said yesterday the institute and police handling the case had arranged a second autopsy at Thammasat Rangsit Hospital.
Salui's body was sent to the Institute on Wednesday for examination after he was found dead a day earlier near a ditch in a sugarcane plantation in Suphan Buri's U Thong district, about five kilometres from where he had gone missing.
The boy went missing on Dec 17 after he was allowed by his parents to go out to play.
